Psalms 49:15-20 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

15. But from hell's hand God will me free,for he shall me receive.

16. Be thou not then afraid when oneenriched thou dost see,Nor when the glory of his houseadvanced is on high:

17. For he shall carry nothing hencewhen death his days doth end;Nor shall his glory after himinto the grave descend.

18. Although he his own soul did blesswhilst he on earth did live;(And when thou to thyself dost well,men will thee praises give;)

19. He to his fathers' race shall go,they never shall see light.

20. Man honour'd wanting knowledge islike beasts that perish quite.
